Yonkers, NY — The post position gods gazed at P H Supercam and mocked him. Defending George Morton Levy Memorial Pacing Series champ? Don’t care. Won all four of his series starts this season, leading in prelim points? Big whoop. Newly-minted millionaire? You’d better bring more to the table than that.

The overseers of the open draw made sure P H Supercam is going to have to earn it. He sits in the lovely eight hole Saturday night (April 25) for Yonkers Raceway’s $529,000 final of the season’s tribute to the Hall of Fame founder of Roosevelt Raceway.

The 28th edition of the Levy — a Free-For-All event — is the sport’s richest race of the season to date. It goes as the eighth race of Yonkers’ dozen-race card (first post 7:10 p.m., feature approximately 9:50 p.m.).

The draw: 1-Domethatagain (Dan Dube), 2-Lucan Hanover (David Miller), 3-Windsong Jack (Brian Sears), 4-Beach Memories (Yannick Gingras), 5-Take It Back Terry (George Brennan), 6-Polak A (Sears also listed), 7-Mach It So (Tim Tetrick), 8-P H Supercam (Jason Bartlett). Note that Mach It So and P H Supercam race as a common ownership/trainer entry.

The evening co-featured $261,000 final of the Blue Chip Matchmaker (Open Pacing Mares) goes as the sixth race (approximate post 9 p.m.). It’s the second-richest harness race of 2015 to this point.

The draw: 1-Venus Delight (Bartlett), 2-Yagonnakissmeornot (Sears), 3-Fancy Desire (Matt Kakaley), 4-Carolsideal (Dube), 5-Monkey On My Wheel (Sears also listed), 6-Strings (Eric Carlson), 7-Krispy Apple (Tetrick), 8-Camille (Brennan). Note a pair of coupled common ownership/trainer entries in Venus Delight and Krispy Apple and Yagonnakissmeornot and Carolsideal.

Two series consolations were carded as races five (Matchmaker, $75,000) and seven (Levy, $100,000), along with a $50,000 race for eligibles to the Levy (fourth race).

Changes to the Saturday program are to be made Wednesday morning (April 22), with story updated accordingly.
